The Defiant won in this grade at Wolverhampton in February but has yet to place in five runs on Turf. DE LATOUR makes more appeal having a first run for Jason Ward. He has been running well at Dundalk and showed some ability at Naas in the autumn. She'zanarab is a bit better than form figures would suggest and Brahma Kamal makes his handicap debut off a plater’s mark. The latter’s stable companion Frank's Law has done little to justify top weight, however.
